I'm only 30 weeks but thought it was time to think of a name for baby #2, who is a girl! We already have ds who is an Isaac Thomas.

Our current shortlist is below...what do you think?

Florence.....this is the current front runner. Is this popular? I still don't know too many children and most are boys. But I do know one Florence.

Esme - how popular is this since Twighlight????

Amalie (I like this)
Amelia (DH prefered this)

Issy (as it is)

Mya (possibly too popular)
Constance (DH suggestion)
Summer (possibly a bit too frilly)

Middle name possibly Jean, after my nan, but all depends on first name choice. So suggestions on middle welcome too!!!

Florence is ridiculously common popular

Summer seems a little bit chavvy

Esme - heard 4 being called out last weekend at a jungle gym type place

Love Constance actually. Classy.

Amelie is my favourite name (slightly different spelling to yours), DH prefers Amelia because he thinks Amelie is too French but I am not keen. Amelia is also number one in the girls name charts if that matters to you. Amelie seems more pretty and friendly sounding to me.

Florence is also on our list as it was our favourite ever holiday together and we both like ti as a name. Reading online it is meant to be quite popular now but I have never actually met one. We would probably use it as a middle name.

I love Florence but it does seem popular, if that worries you.

I don't like Issy as a stand alone name, and isn"t that a bit similar to Isaac?

I really like Summer if you're brave enough. A lot of people wouldn't like names like that.
